Starting tomorrow morning (for about 3 days) I am having a very large old wild cherry tree cut down at my rental in Eastmoreland (SE Portland). It might be 70 or 80 feet high (but I'm bad at those estimates) and I'd guess that I can only reach a bit over half way around it with both arms. I hate for the wood just to be disposed of if anyone could use it in woodworking of some kind. It's very sad to cut it down, and I'd love for something new and beautiful to come of some of it. Is there anyone in your group who might be interested in using some?

If you think there might be someone interested, please contact me soon, before it is all carried away.

Russ Little asked me to make it known to our membership that Woodcraft is looking for experienced woodworkers, especially turners, for the Tigard store. If it sounds interesting, contact Woodcraft in Tigard at (503) 684-1428.

At the AAW Symposium in Atlanta there was a special session on remote demonstrations. Since we had talked about this, I thought you might be interested in a more detailed look at the process. I'm even more interesated now.
